A deeply personal account of Elton John's life during the era of AIDS and an inspiring call to action.
In the 1980s, Elton John saw friend after friend, loved one after loved one, perish needlessly from AIDS. He befriended Ryan White, a young Indiana boy ostracized because of his HIV infection. Ryan's inspiring life and devastating death led Elton to two realizations: His own life was a mess. And he had to do something to help stop the AIDS crisis.

With Freddie Mercury, front man of the band Queen
and one of my closest friends, at the Live Aid concert
in London in July 1985. Freddie was diagnosed with
AIDS two years later. He passed away on November
24, 1991. (Rex USA)


Since then, Elton has dedicated himself to overcoming the plague and the stigma of AIDS.
The Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised and donated $275 million to date to fighting the disease worldwide. Love Is the Cure includes stories of Elton's close friendships with Ryan White, Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, and others, and the story of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Sales of Love Is the Cure benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Reviews

"My friend Elton John has touched us all with his music and with the countless lives he has saved through his AIDS Foundation. Now he has given us a deeply personal story of struggle and perseverance in the fight against this terrible disease. Few people know more than Elton about what it will take to end AIDS. His wonderful new book will convince you there's cause for hope--and inspire you to be part of the solution."--President Bill Clinton

"Love is the Cure is strong medicine, and Elton is an inspiration."--Joan Rivers

"Heartbreaking....A resounding message of hope."--The Miami Herald
